Recommended Posts

Today I am happy to report that I am no longer in 24's, or 22's even 20's, Okay I still wear 20's but need a belt. I am in size 18!!!!!!

I am thrilled and needed to share with someone else other then my husband. Though he did comment on how my butt is shrinking. LOL

Exactly! I was able to buy my first shirt in an XL and finally not in the plus section. Just seems crazy to think I can finally do that. Love it though!

Wahoo! Way to go sister! I am 6 days out and am starting in a 20 and can't wait to wear my 18's and 16's I have put away. I don't know what I would do with myself of I got lower than that! I wore 14's in middle school lol. I'm starving but seeing your success makes me proud for you and excited for me to get there!

That's awesome! Congratulations!!!

Our stats are similar. I can't wait to go shopping in the "regular" section of stores and not have to go to specialty stores. In fact, I'm just belting my clothes until I can do just that. No buying new clothes until they are a 16 or below!

That is excellent. How long did it take?

Honestly it's been 7 months. 6 months of meetings with nutritionist brought me from 234 to 217, then a month and a half after surgery I went from 20s to size 18. I couldn't go to the gym for the first six weeks so my weight loss was stalled. Some weeks are better than others.

Congratulations! Isn't it a wonderful feeling? I too just bought my first pair of dress pants since my surgery---yep, size 18! It was great! I refuse to buy anything else until I'm out of the Women's section and in the Misses section. :) Hopefully, that won't be long for either of us!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
